Chapter 62 061: Beware of arrogance and impetuosity
The teaching in the hotpot restaurant lasted for an hour.
During this period, Jack also joined in and asked Hongmi’s permission to record the whole process on his mobile phone, just in case he had any knowledge points that he didn’t understand at the time and could go back and listen to it again.
"Are you taking this seriously?" Gu Xing teased, "The ADC's ward task is not that important."
Since Riot has stipulated that a character cannot have more than 3 artificial eyes inserted in the canyon at the same time, the support can no longer light up the canyon unscrupulously, and the shooter must take on more vision responsibilities to help the team relieve the pressure.
But even so, ADC has the least average ward among the five positions in the team.
On the contrary, in the jungle position where Gu Xing is, the green jungle knife is still there. Even some players who use red and blue knives mostly have to buy eye stones. He has to arrange a lot of vision with the support, and he must have a lot of knowledge about eye positions. Only a deep understanding will do.
"Do you know Hammer?" Jack retorted disdainfully, "Once one day my friends can no longer play ADC, just switch to support and all this knowledge of eye positions will come in handy!"
When Xiao Duan, who was still in the hotpot, heard this, he immediately became vigilant, "What about playing support?"
"It's okay, Brother Duan," Gu Xing started to get angry, "Jack just said that he could try to steal your starting spot."
Yu Wenbo looked at his friend in disbelief.
Xiao Duan noticed that they were joking, but he still cooperated and came up to tickle Jack, which made Yu Wenbo dissatisfied and fought back.
After Gu Xing listened to part of the explanation of the information position, seeing that it was almost early in the morning, the entire VG team got up and planned to go back to the base to sleep.
After washing, he lay comfortably on his single bed.
The room was no longer as cramped and cramped as in Zhenhai's hometown. Gu Xing could place his long legs wherever he wanted, without having to worry about hitting the wall.
But this made him a little uncomfortable.
Only Gu Xing lived in the dormitory, which seemed empty.
Looking at the white walls around him, he could still hear the drunk Imp humming hometown tunes in the corridor. Gu Xing felt an emotion called loneliness for the first time in a long time.
It turns out that if you have your parents at home, you can go to Gu Pan to have a quarrel if you really can't. There is always someone who can stay with you.
But now Gu Xing does not have this condition.
He turned over and grabbed his cell phone, asking Jay Chou to sing some lively songs to him. He also bought some cheap posters online, planning to paste them on the wall to cover up the pure white wall and make the room less deserted.
After everything was arranged, Gu Xingcai turned off the music and lights and closed his eyes, but his mind kept thinking about the scenes of winning against RNG.
The wave of cheers from the audience was like a slap to the bottom of his heart. The refreshing feeling that made his body tremble slightly due to excitement was something Gu Xing would never forget.
……
When Gu Xing woke up at noon the next day, he felt in good spirits.
He is gradually adapting to the routine of a professional player, and it is not as difficult as the first trial.
After putting on his short-sleeved team uniform, he went downstairs to the empty training room. Gu Xing first installed the peripherals he had retrieved from the stadium yesterday, then turned on his computer and prepared to play a qualifying game to maintain his touch.
Just after logging into the client, team leader Jin Wenhyuk also yawned and walked into the room.
He was holding a bowl of warm milk cereal in his hand, and was surprised to see Gu Xing, "You're here so early?"
"You have to practice more when you are young..." Gu Xing replied, scanning the war zone interface and found that Dopa had begun to exert strength in the past two days, pushing himself and Jack down, and achieved the summit again.
However, the opponent's lead is not large, only 7 winning points.
Gu Xing only needs to win one game to take the lead.
While waiting in line for the other nine players, he didn't wear headphones and listened to Jin Wenhyuk muttering from behind, "Four wins, five wins..."
"What are you doing?" Gu Xing was puzzled.
"Calculate how many games we can win in the summer split," Jin Wenhe looked at the whiteboard in the center. In addition to the team training match information, there is also VG's regular season schedule. "It's hard to say against WE, but it's hard to say against OMG and SAT. No problem, I can win two games guaranteed.”
VG’s game against WE is scheduled for next Friday.
Today's LPL only has games from Thursday to Sunday, and the schedule is not intensive.
The 12 teams are divided into two groups according to the results of the spring competition. The official will try to make the two groups evenly matched and there will be no obvious imbalance in strength.
Opponents in the same group play in a double round robin, a total of 10 games.
Play single rounds with opponents from different groups, a total of 6 games.
That adds up to 16 BO3 games.
The teams in the same group of VG are RNG, WE, LGD, OMG, and IM. The team currently has a good record of 3 wins and 1 loss. The last opponent in the first round of intra-group competition is WE.
"It's not necessary, right?" Imp walked in with his slippers pulled on. He looked depressed due to a hangover, and his round face was full of exhaustion. "Who can say for sure whether he will win or lose?"
"If you are in good condition, you can win against anyone. If you don't feel good on the day of the game, you can lose to a weak team." Imp said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Jin Wenhe was speechless.
He has been working at VG for a while and knows that his team has always been very stable, with neither high ceiling nor low ceiling.
But thinking about it again, the home team actually defeated the powerful RNG yesterday... It seems that Imp was right.
After the team members were changed, the team's style also changed quietly.
"Here comes the sauce pancake!" Jack came back with a bag of fragrant food and gave one to Gu Xing, "Lao Gu, this is yours!"
He usually likes this kind of food. When he was riding back to the base last night, he found a small sauce pancake shop nearby. When he got up at noon, he quickly bought it to satisfy his appetite.
Gu Xing thanked him and transferred the money.
"Dopa is No. 1 again?" Jack came over and saw the ranking of Electric Power, and suddenly felt unhappy.
He decided to join forces with Gu Xing to drive Dopa away before the start of the training match at two o'clock in the afternoon.
"You guys will play in the national server today," Jin Wenhyuk finished the milk in the bowl. "The team is looking for an official super account for the Korean server. The approval process is almost over. I will go there in the afternoon to urge you."
Domestic professional players have been fighting in the national server in the past few years, but the LCK league has dominated the World Championship for three consecutive years, and the LPL has introduced more and more foreign players, which will inevitably be affected.
Now more and more players want to go to the opponent's server to test the waters.
Due to various reasons, the Korean server is updated faster than the Chinese server, allowing professional players to experience and adapt to the new version early.
Moreover, the high-scoring game rhythm of the Korean server is generally a bit slower than that of the Chinese server, with a preference for roaming and support, which seems to be more in line with the rhythm of professional games.
As long as the network problem can be solved, the Korean server is indeed a good practice place for professional players.
Gu Xing poked a piece of Jiangxiang Pancake with his fork and stuffed it into his mouth. Looking at the longer and longer ranking time in the upper right corner of the client, he felt filled with emotion.
Their choice between servers is somewhat like the Matthew Effect. The more professional players there are, the more other players will be attracted to join.
The S6 season may be the last glory of Telecom District 1. After a lot of professional players flock to the Korean server, the value of Ionia's high-scoring bureau is bound to decline.
Gu Xing played three qualifying games at noon, winning two and losing one, allowing the ID "I really only know how to play jungle" to reach the top of Ionia again.
Jack also successfully climbed to second place, pushing Dopa to third place.
This good state lasted for a full day. In the two sets of training matches in the afternoon and evening that day, VG defeated GT led by the famous dean Jin Gong with a near crushing force!
Gu Xing knew that the top laner was GT's number one dad, so he took extra care of him, almost living on the top lane during training matches.
This kind of treatment made Brother Long smile, and he proudly showed off to Jin Gong between the two training games.
Poor Jin Gong in the GT base was filled with rage, his chest heaved violently, his face turned the color of pig liver with anger, and he wanted to cut the opposing jungler into pieces with a thousand knives!
However, on Sunday, VG, which was gaining momentum, suffered a heavy blow in the training match.
Gu Xing finally got his Korean super account. Riot Games has deliberately adjusted the hidden points of the account so that professional players can increase their points more efficiently than ordinary players and can quickly return to the rank they deserve.
But before he could level up, Redmi found a strong opponent for the team in the training match—Samsung Galaxy from the Korean Division!
At the end of 2014, all members of Samsung Blue and White left the team. Even the coaches of the two teams came to the LPL, leaving only Edgar, the head coach who was originally in charge of the Blue and White teams.
He has a close relationship with Hongmi, and he carefully guided Homme, who had just retired as a top laner and turned into a coach. The Homme championship in Samsung White must be 1/3 of Edgar's credit.
However, a good woman can't make a meal without rice. His coaching level is very high, but it doesn't matter if the players are not strong enough.
Samsung in S5 has gone through a painful period and is struggling in the LCK relegation zone.
Until last year's winter transfer period attracted Ambition and Corejj, nicknamed Ambition, their performance gradually improved to the edge of the playoffs.
And this summer, Samsung introduced a new ADC with the ID Ruler, allowing the original shooter Corejj to transform into an assistant.
At this point, SSG formed the starting lineup of Cuvee, Ambition, Crown, Ruler and Corejj. In the first three weeks of the summer split, they achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss. They only lost to SKT, which had just won the mid-season championship, and ranked second in the league. !
After a year and a half, the former alliance hegemon Samsung has shown its prowess again!
As the head coach, Edgar has played an important role in Samsung's reconstruction. In his opinion, the team's goals this year are very clear.
Heading to the World Championships!
The first training match between VG and Samsung ended with 2 wins and 3 losses. It was very difficult to win, but when they lost, they collapsed and they didn't even have the ability to resist.
Since Gu Xing's arrival, the team's training matches have been going smoothly in the past few days. Now that they have been beaten by Samsung, the atmosphere is inevitably negative.
"Cheer up," Lu Wenjun encouraged them, "Don't be depressed even if you lose, this is a good training opportunity!"
Jin Wenhyuk also had the same attitude, "It's not easy to get an appointment with Samsung. If we didn't have a relationship, the other party would basically not agree. Let's review the game after the game, and everyone will slowly improve... The summer split has just begun, and there is still a long way to go. ”
It is indeed difficult to get appointments in Korean clubs.
The LCK has won three consecutive World Championships and is now gaining momentum and its dominance is extremely stable. However, after LPL entered two consecutive finals, S5 encountered Waterloo and was ridiculed. The team is generally not strong.
In order to have a training effect in training matches, everyone basically looks for teams with similar levels to compete.
Nowadays, there is a faint tendency for teams above the mid-range of the LCK to form a team, and most of the training matches of each team are digested internally.
They don't look down on other divisions at all, and they don't target anyone, but they think all other teams from outside divisions are rubbish.
The few games are still open to the top teams in the LPL league such as EDG and RNG.
If Redmi, Imp and others had not worked for Samsung and had a good relationship with Edgar, and VG had previously defeated the spring champion RNG, the probability of Samsung agreeing was very low.
After dinner, all members of VG continued to fight with Samsung in the canyon. The situation did not change much, and they still lost more than they won.
Gu Xing's head is getting bigger.
Ever since he entered his career, he has never encountered such a strong opponent!
The operation he was proud of only came into play at the beginning of the game. Immediately, Samsung turned on the high-intensity linkage mode. Frequent and efficient support made Gu Xing unable to form a 1v1 duel with An Bixin every time in the jungle.
His operation is indeed strong, but the three-star generals are professional players and their personal abilities are not inferior, so they cannot be toyed with by Gu Xing!
It is no longer S3. Under the high-intensity professional training, unilateral crushing operations like Faker and Yue Lun are increasingly rare in top professional arenas.
Gu Xing could not defeat many by himself without his early development!
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Samsung head coach Edgar called Redmi and took the initiative to stop the training match.
"What do you think of this VG?" Hongmi asked Big Brother's opinion, "Especially the new jungler who replaced Dandy."
Edgar thought for a moment and finally commented, "Very good."
"To be honest, we are in very good shape now. The training matches are very fierce. When we encounter Rox, our winning rate is more than half. I am afraid that SKT and VG can win nearly 40% of the games. It is already quite strong..."
Edgar said.
The training match is kept secret except for the two teams, mainly to prevent the tactics and strategies of the practice from being discovered by other competitors.
In addition, the recent winning rate is not a dirty secret. Many players use their live broadcasts to spread the news.
"As for the new jungler, Zanrong said that his skills are very good, but he is still a little immature. If he is trained well, he will be very strong." Edgar couldn't control his curiosity, "By the way, where did you find this treasure? Is your career so strong in less than a month? ”
Jiang Zanrong, the real name of Samsung jungler An Bixin.
Although he was born in 1992 and started his career in 2011, An Bixin is considered a senior in the League of Legends e-sports circle. Even Faker has to call him brother.
But it wasn't enough in front of Edgar - he worked in many games, from player to coach, and worked in Samsung Club for 14 years.
Edgar has no problem calling An Bixin without his last name.
When Hongmi heard Big Brother's approval, her heart was immediately filled with the joy of a good harvest, and she answered vaguely, "It's similar to how you found Ruler..."
After hanging up the phone and going back to review, he had a serious face again, "We played a training match with Samsung for a day. Let's talk about our feelings first, and then we will review and solve the problem."
"The personal strength is really good. I don't think Samsung is much better than us." Easyhoon scratched his hair and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "The key is that the linkage speed exposes too many problems." < br>
"Especially the speed of support and communication," Brother Long, as a top laner, has a deep understanding of this. "Every time before you fight, tell me in advance that I must deal with the line of troops, otherwise my line of troops will be bad after teleportation." If you drop it, you won’t be able to play at all when you go back!”
Today's training match is like this every time.
The battle was about to break out, so the commander asked Brother Long to find a teleportation position and prepare for a large-scale team battle.
As a result, if the team battle is continued, the top lane will still lose money if the team battle is won. If the team battle fails, the top lane will basically be sent.
Xiao Duan also had a reason, "Every time we can't find any opportunity to start a group, Samsung comes to fight with us. How can I give you information in advance?"
Gu Xing pointed out another one, "Don't we have to switch lanes after the laning period? We will suffer losses here every time. We almost lose people. If we do better, we also lose to wild monsters. I invaded the counter jungle in the early stage to get it." That advantage will definitely be sent back.”
According to the current pace of the game, when the first bottom lane defense tower is pushed down, the duo will move to the top lane or the middle lane, depending on the situation.
After all, after the tower is dropped in the bottom lane, the defender loses the protection of the turret. Once the line is pushed out, it is easy to be flanked. The same is true for the attacker. Push the line towards the enemy's second tower. If the line is pushed too deep, there will be life. Danger.
Line switching can make the development of ADC smoother and safer.
Moreover, the shooter is very efficient in demolishing towers due to his own characteristics. If he switches to other routes, he can pose a threat to the enemy's defense towers that are still intact. If they can continue to knock down the defense towers, the team will have a considerable economic share, and can also It has a considerable field of view and control advantage.
All in all, it is a very scientific choice.
VG's current line transfer processing is not bad in the LPL.
But Samsung’s mastery of line switching can only be described as perfect!
"The lines were changed before the game even started. We were beaten even worse," Imp looked a little aggrieved as he recalled the situation at that time, "We couldn't even last 20 minutes."
After listening to the opinions of the team members, Hongmi opened her own screen recording software.
As usual, he recorded the entire process of today's training match. Now he is reviewing it bit by bit to find out the mistakes made by the players and highlight the problems so that they can pay more attention in the future.
"Let's talk about the lane transfer issue you mentioned first," Hongmi looked at Gu Xing, "Our bottom lane had an advantage in this game. We sacrificed a teleport from the mid laner and came over to help Imp push down the defense tower. We can advance Start switching lines.”
Gu Xing nodded.
The third training game currently being reviewed is the one where they had the biggest early advantage.
Unfortunately, it was ruined by the switching operation. As soon as imp and Xiao Duan arrived on the road, Samsung seized the opportunity to complete the strangulation and directly reversed the situation.
Once the balance of power is maintained and enters the mid-term, VG is no match for Samsung!
Rather than the operational gap between VG and Samsung, it is better to say it is the epitome of LPL and LCK in 2016.
During the match between the two divisions, the LPL team led by 3,000 points in 15 minutes and the economy was unstable, and they always felt like they would lose. Once the LCK team ended the laning period and the economic difference was even, they could basically open the champagne at halftime to celebrate.
"There is a problem with your course of action at this point in time," Hongmi called up the red pen and drew a circle on the training match video from a God's perspective. "You died in the battle that broke out in the bottom lane. After your teammates pushed down the defense tower in the bottom lane, they turned The line goes up, but after you revive, you go straight to the lower half..."
He saw Gu Xing was about to speak, "I know what you want to say."
"The stone beetles and sharp-beaked birds in the lower half have been refreshed. If you want to kill these two groups of wild monsters first before moving up, it will only waste half a minute, right?"
Gu Xing had to admit that Hongmi guessed what he was thinking.
The fact is that within half a minute, the VG duo switched lanes and reached the top lane, falling directly into the trap set by Samsung!
When imp and Xiao Duan were killed, Gu Xing had just finished killing wild monsters and had no time to rush to support them!
"But you have to think about it at that time, where will the opponent's jungler be?" Hongmi guided the newcomers to think bit by bit, "Will An Bixin come to counter your wild monster?"
"There is a high probability that it won't happen. The opponent's jungler will definitely choose to go to the top lane first to protect the duo that they have transferred to!"
"Because their duo is at a disadvantage, if An Bixin appears in the lower half rashly, the top three stars will be completely undefended. Whether it is killing people by jumping over the tower, or losing the health of the defense tower, the initiative is in our hands."< br>
Gu Xing held his chin with his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what Hongmi meant.
"I surround the duo to protect the lane, and let go of the two groups of wild monsters below. If the opponent's jungler goes below to counter the jungle, then we can push the tower or kill people. No matter which way, the income earned There are more than two groups of wild monsters.”
His thoughts came to him, "If the opponent's jungler doesn't come to counterattack, then I won't have much loss - after all, the wild monsters will be eaten sooner or later, and nothing will happen if my duo stays on the top lane and accepts my protection."
Hongmi nodded in approval, "Once the advantage of the duo expands to a certain extent, Xiao Duan's support can leave the lane and help you invade the wild area. At that time, the wild monsters you sacrificed to switch lanes will be recovered in the end. .”
"...I understand," Gu Xing understood. "As soon as the lane transfer period begins, I will try my best to follow the duo to protect them, threaten the opponent, and help arrange the vision."
Hongmi was very satisfied with him, and then looked at Brother Long to solve the problems raised by his top laner.
According to the news from Edgar, VG's current strength and condition are quite good. It is not a shame for Redmi to be unable to defeat Samsung, which is in full swing.
It's even worthy of praise.
But he was still very strict when reviewing.
Apart from Hongmi's own rigorous temperament, he also thinks about the team.
If you tell the players about Samsung's current status and say that you can compete with the upper-level LCK teams, who can guarantee that VG players will not drift?
You must know that VG just won the spring championship RNG!
Gu Xing and Jack were newbies, and it was easy for them to get lost in the praise of the outside world when they first started playing professionally.
Needless to say, imp is crazy, and he stayed in LGD for a year and a half.
Hongmi has coached LGD and knows the team's style, and he can't control it.
When LGD's double Cs came together, two people with good gaming talents highlighted one optimistic + expansion.
Imp immediately started drinking after winning RNG, and Hongmi felt something was wrong at that time.
If I praise imp twice more, this old colleague may go straight to heaven!
Hongmi finally decided to play it safe and guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
VG and others only knew that Samsung was currently performing well in the LCK league, but they knew nothing about the intensity of its training matches. They felt that it was humiliating to be beaten repeatedly by the opponent, so they even added an extra hour to the qualifying practice that night.
While Gu Xing and others were training hard, LPL was also in full swing.
StyleofMe officially replaced Zzr in the weekend match against SAT!
This is also the first Vietnamese foreign aid in LPL!
His ID on the field is Sofm. He has dark skin, wears a pair of glasses, and looks dull and honest.
But at the beginning of the game, he resorted to the bandit's anti-wild play style, and his extremely skilled invasion route and wild monster spawn time calculation, defeated the opponent in less than 20 minutes!
Finally, at the end of the game, seemingly by coincidence, Sofm Reksai also completed the feat of leading the match by 80 dollars!
“Sofm and Virtue, the two newcomers’ playing styles are outstanding!”
The voice of the narrator is exciting and loud.
Snakes and VG, the two new junglers won MVPs one after another for the first time on the LPL stage, and their styles are similar, making the audience look forward to their first head-to-head confrontation.
However, the two teams belong to different groups and both need to complete the round robin within the group before they can meet.
Friday arrives quietly.
Gu Xing is ready for the second official game of his career.
The opponent is none other than WE!
There is another chapter tonight.
A splash screen appeared. We are about to reach the top of the new book monthly ticket list. Please ask for more monthly tickets!
(End of chapter)
